Artist Eric Smith won 3 Archibalds, then vanished. A new show reveals his unseen works

A new exhibition at Macquarie University Art Gallery reveals unseen works by Eric Smith (1919-2017), a celebrated Australian artist who won three Archibald Prizes and six Blake Prizes before unexpectedly vanishing from public life. Despite his early fame—including a role in launching Australian abstract expressionism with the group show Direction 1—Smith's career stalled after the death of his gallerist Rudy Komon in 1982, leaving him without a connection to the art world. He continued painting prolifically for four more decades, working daily in his studio, but destroyed more than half his output and had no major gallery shows after 1989.

Melbourne exhibition celebrates the long overlooked contributions of Indigenous Australian artists

An exhibition titled "65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art" opens at Melbourne University’s Potter Museum of Art on 30 May, celebrating the long-overlooked contributions of Indigenous Australian artists. Co-curated by Judith Ryan and Marcia Langton, the show argues that Indigenous art dates back millennia before European settlement but was only recognized as fine art from the 1980s, having been previously confined to ethnographic categories. It highlights frontier artists like Tommy McRae, William Barak, and Mickey of Ulladulla, as well as contemporary photographers Ricky Maynard, Naomi Hobson, and Destiny Deacon, while addressing the link between racist policies and the denial of Indigenous art's value.
